As a man, I fully agree with author&#8217;s depiction of man and man&#8217;s motivation. Some of strategies make sense to me. <\/p>\n<p>I have not noticed but it&#8217;s true that men will do three things for women they love:<br \/>\n1. Profess: Proclaim &#8220;This is my woman&#8221; in front of others.<br \/>\n2. Provide: That&#8217;s what every man is told to do since childhood.<br \/>\n3. Protect: Man&#8217;s instinct to protect his loved ones.<\/p>\n<p>What every man needs:<br \/>\n1. Support<br \/>\n2. Loyalty<br \/>\n3. the Cookie (sex)<\/p>\n<p>How men distinguish between the marrying types (keepers) and the play things (sport fishing).<\/p>\n<p>Why men cheat? 1) Because they can. 2) They think they can get away with it. 3) He hasn&#8217;t become who he wants and needs to be or found who he truly wants. 4) There&#8217;s always a woman out there willing to cheat with him.<\/p>\n<p>The playbook for women:<br \/>\n1) Men respect standards &#8211; get some<br \/>\n2) Ask 5 questions before sleeping with him: 1. What are your short-term goals? 2. What are your long-term goals? 3. What your views on relationships? 4. What do you think about me? 5. How do you feel about me?<br \/>\n3) The 90-day rule &#8211; no sex for 90 days of probation period. During this period find out the following: 1. How does he reacts when you tell him you&#8217;ve got some problems? 2. How does your man react under pressure? 3. How does he reacts to bad news? 4. How does he react when he&#8217;s told &#8220;no&#8221;?<br \/>\n4) Meet the kids before you decide he&#8217;s &#8220;the one.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>On how to &#8220;get the ring,&#8221; ask for a commitment and date. Don&#8217;t fear &#8220;failures.&#8221; Be willing to walk away.<\/p>\n<p>A chapter on FAQ &#8211; very intuitive.<\/p>\n<p>Except for some author&#8217;s bias on God and religion, I think the author is right on when it comes to how to read a man. Yes, man is a simple creature. Women may have read too much into man.This book ought to be a must-read for women and even teenager girls.<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"http:\/\/rcm.amazon.com\/e\/cm?t=learbyblog-20&#038;o=1&#038;p=8&#038;l=as1&#038;asins=0061728977&#038;md=10FE9736YVPPT7A0FBG2&#038;fc1=000000&#038;IS2=1&#038;lt1=_blank&#038;m=amazon&#038;lc1=0000FF&#038;bc1=FFFFFF&#038;bg1=FFFFFF&#038;f=ifr\" style=\"width:120px;height:240px;\" scrolling=\"no\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I didn&#8217;t know this book was intended for women, but after a couple of pages I finally figured it out and finished the book anyway.
